EllJay Posted August 20, 2013 #1 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Darpa wants to create a sort of Super Soldier, or something of the likes, out of The Bourne Legacy. Some of the properties mentioned are superior strength, vision, and intelligence, and better disease resistance. DARPA, the Department of Defense’s research arm, has just put out a new solicitation for a project called, “Advanced Tools for Mammalian Genome Engineering” on the government’s Federal Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) site.This project isn’t just for engineering any mammal’s genome, however; it’s specifically for the bioengineering of humans.'' A human artificial chromosome (HAC) is a microchromosome that can act as a new chromosome in a population of human cells. That is, instead of 46 chromosomes, the cell could have 47 with the 47th being very small, roughly 6-10 megabases in size, and able to carry new genes introduced by human researchers. So DARPA and its team of associated scientists want to introduce an entirely new 47th chromosome into human genetics as a vector platform for inserting bio-alterations and wholesale genetic “improvements” into our DNA. It’s impossible to even compile an accurate listing of all the potential slippery slopes at play here, yet it is clear that this entails a momentous grasp at controlling life, which not only empowers an already dictatorial technocratic elite, but emboldens a delusional and destructive cadre intent on overwriting the existing species now on Earth. When looking at one DARPA project to perfect mind control techniques — or a second DARPA project to study the human hormone oxytocin to ‘improve’ our response to government propaganda — or a third DARPA brain interface project that would literally turn soldiers into cyborgs, it’s creepy enough. However, when looking at all of these projects together as a combined effort … it raises chilling questions as to what kind of dystopic, technocratic future they are forcing us into. http://topinfopost.c...47th-chromosome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Wearer of Hats Posted August 20, 2013 #2 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Why must it always be a Super-Soldier, why not a Super-Teacher with the patience of a saint and a bladder the size of a Volkswagen? Or a Super-McDonalds worker who can stand up all day, is immune to all abuse and lives on table leavings? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EllJay Posted August 20, 2013 Author #5 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Why must it always be a Super-Soldier, why not a Super-Teacher with the patience of a saint and a bladder the size of a Volkswagen? Or a Super-McDonalds worker who can stand up all day, is immune to all abuse and lives on table leavings? Every big advance in science is always thought of how it can be implemented as an weapon of some sort first, then if it could be implemented to make a senseless amount of money sucking the public dry (like a medicine etc), then as the last thought, altruistic individuals, think how it be implemented to help mankind in some way. That is the world we have created, so we deserve it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nighthawk9653 Posted August 20, 2013 #6 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I heard some other secret organization thing was trying to create chimps and monkeys that could be commanded and such. Like super soldier monkeys. Like their physical body and mind would be altered so they could be commanded, and be like the ultimate soldier. Strong, fast, whatever. All this sounds scary. One slip up anywhere could destroy the world. And if the wrong people take command, or they start fighting for all the wrong things, we could be in trouble :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
